Cryptocurrency has long been an asset class that for most, high and annoying fees. Unlike socks which up until recently required a flat fee every time you traded them, crypto investment platforms like coinbase charge a percentage which drastically reduces your margins when attempting to trade.
I did a review a while back discussing some of the pros & cons of the investment platform 'Robinhood' This is a review of the crypto side of the app. Even though there's definitely pros and cons to the stock investing side of the app, Robinhood is probably outright best place to buy crypto as long as you're buying the main coins: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Bitcoin cash, litecoin, Dogecoin, Ethereum Classic and Bitcoin SV. Up until robbinhood came along, there was basically no where to trade crypto for free. There were other platforms that did charge less than coinbase but they were a lot more complicated to use.
Coinbase is the main Crypto trading platform but surprisingly, they're still charging a percentage which opposed to a flat rate, you can't even get away from even if you raise your investment amount. There's also other platforms that charge less but they're super complicated to use, you have to take a few hours just to learn how to use the site. Some of them don't have history or a reliable record. If you mess up, your money can get lost. In 2020, investing in Crypto should literally be as easy as opening up your app, selecting the dollar amount you want buy and swiping up.
Obviously even though these currencies have proven themselves in recent years and many including me believe in them in the long term, no one knows for sure what's going to happen next so any investments should be made with discretionary funds.
